A polymer blend comprising a polyamide and a small effective amount of a poly(arylene sulfide) resin. The addition of the poly(arylene sulfide) resin improves the properties of the polyamide and, especially, the molding characteristics of polyamides.

Polymer blends with high notched impact strength comprising polyamide-6 with a relative viscosity of at least 3,5 and copolymers of ethylene, (meth)acrylic acid and esters of (meth)acrylic acid.

Polymer blends with improved impact strength consisting essentially of a polyamide and a copolymer of an .alpha.-olefine, an amide and an ester of an .alpha.,.beta.unsaturated carboxylic acid.

Polymers containing a high percentage of vinyl alcohol units may be blended with copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and unsaturated organic acids and processed into sheet, film, fiber and other objects which exhibit an useful balance of barrier and strength properties.

Polymers containing a high percentage of vinyl alcohol units may be blended with copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and unsaturated organic acids and processed into sheet, film, fiber and other objects which exhibit an useful balance of barrier and strength properties.

Impact-modified polyphthalamide resins are improved in ductility and rigidity when blended with polypropylene and a carboxylated polyolefin resin. The blends exhibit an excellent balance of ductility and rigidity.

Polymers containing a high percentage of vinyl alcohol units may be blended with copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and unsaturated organic acids and processed into sheet, film, fiber and other objects which exhibit an useful balance of barrier and strength properties.

Polymer blends of at least one polar polymer are prepared by admixture with a poly(vinyl alcohol) and a (meth)acrylate copolymer also containing vinyl amide and/or unsaturated acid units. The ternary compositions have attractive processing and performance properties.

Polymer blends of the following: (i) poly[bis(methylamino)phosphazene] and poly[bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)phosphazene; (ii) poly[bis(methylamino)phosphazene] with poly(vinyl chloride), poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(ethylene oxide), or polystyrene; (iii) poly[bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)phosphazene with poly(vinyl alcohol) or poly(acrylic acid); and (iv) poly[bis(phenoxy)phosphazene] with polystyrene or poly(methyl methacrylate).

Polymers containing a high percentage of vinyl alcohol units may be blended with copolymers of alkyl methacrylates and unsaturated organic acids and processed into sheet, film, fiber and other objects which exhibit an useful balance of barrier and strength properties.
